Corset Mock-up

[mala_14]

Hm... It's not a curvy as I'd like for a couple reasons. I think I need to add more room in the bust (not something I ever thought I'd need to say ;p). Things like more boning, a busk, and a waist tape would probably help. I'm also not entirely sure that the waist is hitting me in the exact right spot. It could probably be a touch lower to get to the squishiest part of my waist. But these corsets tend to be a bit higher waisted and I don't want to get rid of that look. The hips could possibly be taken in a bit in the front. Comparing these pics with period photographs, this mock-up looks passable, but still a bit more fiddling to do.

I was kind of surprised it fit so well "right out of the box" so to speak. I think I need to let out the back hip. And yeah, that's the principle I'm trying to work with, small in the waist with lots of room for squish. Thanks!
